Sunday is the biggest day in Hollywood, as the movie industry honors the best performances, screenplays and films of 2013. Who’ll win best picture? Who’ll make the best speech? Who’ll wear what? If you want to celebrate the movies at the movies, you’ll find parties at the Smith Rafael in San Rafael,
the Roxie,
the Balboa, or
the Cerrito in El Cerrito. (Check the websites before you go — the Smith Rafael event is a swanky affair while the Roxie’s Up the Oscars encourages you to yell at the screen; best to not get those mixed up.) The show starts at 5 p.m. Sunday; parties get started before that.
